ADR ratio confirmed as 1 ADS = 5 common shares, from TSMC's own FY2025 20-F: 'each ADS represents five (5) common shares', and 'As of February 28, 2026, 5,313,450,863 common shares, represented by 1,062,690,167 ADSs, were registered in the name of a nominee of Citibank, N.A.' (5,313,450,863 / 1,062,690,167 = exactly 5.0000). Depositary is Citibank, N.A. BOTH INPUTS ARE NOW PRIMARY AND ON THE SAME DAY, which for the largest non-US figure here is worth the care. The close is the Taiwan Stock Exchange's own daily report; the TWD/USD rate is the Federal Reserve's H.10 release, which covers the New Taiwan dollar that the ECB does not. Until 1 September 2026 both were aggregator numbers, and briefly after that a 1 September price was being divided by a 28 August rate typed in by hand — a fresh price times a stale rate is true on no day at all. H.10 is weekly, so matching the dates costs a few days of freshness and buys a figure that was actually true on the day it names. For the record the aggregator's price was right and its rate was not: 2,420 matched to the cent, 31.628 against the Federal Reserve's 31.61.

Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (TSM), where one receipt represents 5 ordinary shares; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count. Provenance.

Market cap / net income 56.2× — a market value from 2026-08-28 divided by earnings for a year that ended 2024-12-31. The two dates are far apart on purpose: this is arithmetic on two published numbers, not a valuation.

Every figure above is read from the same 20-F, filed 2025-04-17, and each row names the XBRL tag it came from so it can be checked against the document. Metrics absent from that filing are absent here rather than sourced from a different year — a table mixing periods is individually true and collectively meaningless. The company reports in TWD; the dollar column converts at Yahoo Finance USD/TWD (the ECB does not publish TWD) on 2024-12-31, the period end, not today.

6 naming systems for one entity — only codes we actually hold are listed, with no gaps filled by guessing. Sources: LEI from GLEIF (CC0), ISIN read from the issuer's own primary listing document, with its ISO 6166 check digit validated, FIGI from OpenFIGI (open standard), MIC from the ISO 10383 registry. CUSIP appears because it is arithmetically embedded in US and Canadian ISINs — we derive and verify it from a code we already hold, and we do not redistribute CUSIP Global Services data. Each linked code opens its reverse-lookup page; the validator checks any code's check digit. seed-0.7 · marketcap-1 · 2026-08-30.
